Tracking

My dog loves to track things. She seems to think that she is a hunter as she will find a scent, crouch down low, and slowly follow her nose. I on the other hand are not convinced that her tracking skills are so great. She will do this crouch and follow action after picking up the scent of a cat, and not be able to find the cat that is sitting ten feet away from us. She sniffs around- carefully inspecting each blade of grass, flower, piece of dirt; but still cannot find the cat that she would have found just by taking one glance up.

The funniest is when our dog tracks in the snow. She gets as low as she can, and sniffs everywhere relentlessly, and then follows a trail. But the trail is not from a scent she has found, it is from prints that have already been made in the snow. That's our dog- the great hunter.
